In fact the typography makes my stomach churn.Nairn - Then you must know you can add raw shrooms even in your salad.grafician
- Also this book is a must read these days, but hey, not everybody has a clue about their eating habits...grafician

Meat eater, usually spend around 3 euros a week, more when I buy portobellos or porcinis

As I live with more 5 adults and a 20 month old I'm gonna put it like this:
I'm not a meat eater and living alone I would use two packs of mushrooms spending 5€ total a week – actually would buy every three days.
With my housemates 3 of them eating meat we spend like three boxes of mushrooms making 7,50€ total.

Sometimes if there's different sorts of mushrooms I make a risotto so I'll buy more.
I also use them quite often raw in salads.

Thanks all! Seems like Most people I've asked spend about 2-3 local credits a week on mushrooms and people who are vegetarian/vegan or Just Into Fucking Mushrooms spend quite a bit more than that.
Had someone suggest 20 local credits and THEN if they go to a farmers market, the same again on psh varieties. Mind you, they're quite successful... :)

I'm a pescatarian.
I buy a box of regular, brown mushrooms every other week probably. about $2 USD per week on average.sometimes I'll splurge on some fancy mushrooms from the co-op or the farmers market, and it's like buying a piece of fish. roasted lion's mane mushrooms are great!

Vegetarian.
Spend about 12 aud a week. There is an opt in in my local veggie box service for a local mushrooms growing set up. Depending on the time of year I get a wide variety. Mostly shiitake, oyster (grey, yellow and pink) lions mane and they throw in some that I have no idea what they are. I’ll forage for them occasionally too.

Do you suspect some kind of correlation?
- ha, no, I'm trying to work something out.Nairn
- I figure if I went vegetarian I would probably buy and eat more mushrooms. They do make a decent meaty dish.monospaced

I get them every time i go shopping. No idea what they cost.
Been thinking about converting my shed into a mushroom farm, incidentally..
Ovo-lacto vegetarian
- Thank you.
'Ovo-lacto vegetarian' is interesting to me - up until 2 weeks ago when I had a chat with a Sri Lankan, I thought that was just vegetarianNairn - I'd always wondered at the 'egg-free' cake shop down the road.Nairn
- Ah. Yeah, i eat my hens’ eggs (which i know are cruelty-free) and enjoy cheese now and thenscarabin
- Yeah, that's what I don't get. Eggs can be morally free?Nairn
- I was banned from a vegan sub for asking about eating cruelty-free eggs. It makes their brains misfire when they think about it and they just get angryscarabin
- I admit i’m kind of a jerk for eating cheese and using leather but i haven’t researched that stuff enough to turn me off of it yet. Probably on purposescarabin
- Doesn't matter how vegan you are, all those other cunts are eating beef and generating leather.Nairn
- Myceilial leather;s a thing though, eh?
https://www.mylo-unl…Nairn - Yeah but the right leather jacket can be life changing & those substitutes never come close to recreating the look and feel and smell. And they don’t age wellscarabin
- Thank you.

I probably use a pack of mushrooms once every couple of weeks at most. They aren’t as regular in my cooking, but now that you mention it I feel like I could incorporate them more. I guess $2 a week?
- And yes we eat meat. Not much steak.monospaced
- Thank you.Nairn
- I hear you on steak. I fucking love beef, but it's a treat for us. Steak is a very rare treat for me... . I kinda like it that way.Nairn
- Same here. Burgers once in awhile, sometimes I make a beef stir fry.monospaced

Maybe $2.50-5/week? It's very dependent on what meals we're planning on making any given week. Also meat eaters,
- Thank you.
I'm beginning to see the pattern I assumed here, so this is all good - thanks! :)Nairn
- Thank you.

What kind of mushrooms we talking here? I currently get through about 500g of chestnut mushrooms in a week - just for me. Tonight I'll make some chicken and mushroom risotto but want to find some different varieties. Meatwise - I'm currently eating only chicken and fish.
